What is this word?


Recommended Posts

I know Elizabeth Evans' wound was just to the right of the mid-line of her forehead. Does anyone have a guess as to what the indicated word ??

Thanks.

I get "laceration of forehead about 1" across bullet(s?) felt right above the (?)"

It appears that that word is a continuation of the two words on the right side. Do they say "cleared" "acquitted" and ..."caught"? What does that column represent?

The indicated word is length.

It says 'laceration of forehead about 1" length'

then 'bullet(s?) felt right above'

then 'the laceration'

While "length" makes sense, it appears that the last letter is a "t" and not an "h." Perhaps the writer was dyslexic.
